.. it would be me jealous of both your skill level and oppportunity to play BJ at that level.

However jealousy may be to strong a word. The skill level is certainly something I can control. The opportunity is another thing.

Sunday morning my wife and I were driving around and I let out a bit of a sigh. She asked "what did that mean?" I said, "just thinking about the responsibilites" (translate: mortgage payments, car payments, kids, college expenses, oldish sickish parents, busy season at work, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.)

She said "which responsibilities would you give up?"

I said .. "none."

And it's true. I am the luckiest guy in the world.

( I just wish I lived closer to a decent BJ game! )

Thanks for the posts .. I learn from them all.
